3undergraduates. Attachment style was related in theoretically expected ways to attachment
history and to beliefs about relationships. Securely attached Ss reported relatively positive
perceptions of their early family relationships. Avoidant Ss were most likely to report
childhood separation from their mother and to express mistrust of others. Anxious-
ambivalent subjects were less likely than avoidant Ss to see their father as supportive, and
they reported a lack of independence and a desire for deep commitment in relationships. The
self-esteem measure and each of the scales measuring forms of love were factor analyzed
separately. Analyses based on scale scores derived from the resulting factors indicated that
attachment style was also strongly related to self-esteem and to the various forms of love
discussed in other theoretical frameworks. The results suggest that attachment theory offers
a useful perspective on adult love relationships.
